Security camera video shows two people believed to be responsible for the break-in to a bank machine at Rexall Pharmacy in Burlington on April 4, 2014. One suspect is seen carrying a power saw that was used to cut open the ATM and remove cash.

A couple of thieves literally cut out the middleman in stealing cash from an Automated Teller Machine last week.

Halton Regional Police say that on Friday, April 4 around 4:30 a.m. a break-in occurred at the Rexall Pharmacy at 2400 Guelph Line, just north of Hwy. 407.

Two suspects were captured on surveillance video prying open the front doors to the store and then using a large, gas-powered cement saw to break open an ATM machine.

The suspects fled the store with an undisclosed amount of cash from the banking machine.

Investigators believe the same suspects are responsible for similar ATM entries in Hamilton, London and Windsor.

The first suspect is described as male, 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11, 160 to 190 lbs., with an average build. He was wearing a black head covering that concealed his face and neck, a plain white long-sleeved shirt, black gloves, black pants and white short cut running shoes.

The second suspect is male, six foot to 6-foot-2, 250-280 lbs., with a large build wearing. He was wearing a black head covering that concealed his face and neck, a plain white T-shirt overtop a black long-sleeved shirt, black gloves, black pants and dark workboots.
